Expert Knowledge needed! - Junctions/Crossroads

[Orkestra]

Hello there!

I'm making a short film and in it 3 lads get lost in the middle of nowhere in England and stop at a crossroads/juntion to decide which way to turn.

Do you guys, being experts of the more windy and picturesque roads in the UK; know of any roads like the ones of Dartmoor in this thread:

That have really obvious T Junctions or turnings that I could use?


Thank you very much!

Are you looking for junctions with good lines of sight? ie no hedges around...?

[Orkestra]

Indeed! Perfect mate, if you have anything!?

[160steve]

Where are you in the country? I can think of some in NE?

[Orkestra]

we're willing to travel really for the perfect location,

basically somwhere like this:





but with a junction... I mean, looking at the above, it looks like there is a junction there, but we need a more obvious image of the junction so we can get some location shots together and recce.

No pictures of it, but they are good, clear junctions. May be able to get some pics for you over weekend if interested?

To find where just type Waskerley into google maps

[Orkestra]

WorAl! Thank you very much! I won't trouble you for pictures if you don't already have them, however - are they really clear? remote Junctions? like this in Devon?



If they are then I might have to prester you for them! Thank you!

=D

[WorAl]

Yep, they certainly are. Although the one on the left (the main junction) is at an acute angle, not 90 degrees, does that matter?

Will have a look over this weekend, gives me an excuse for a blast in the Cerb if anything (if its not raining)

[Orkestra]

haha, in a TVR! Rub it in, I live in London which means anything over a 1.2 is raped for parking. =(

i.e - I had a Accord Type R... i now have a Clio.

Superb roads around there, over the top of the moors and they are pretty clear of cars.

Great car it is mate

I remember watching Clarkson do his premier league on the Unleashed(?) videp back in the day, i'd never really taken much notice of TVR's before but watching that Cerbera literally rip passed the other 9 cars I could not help but respect them...

...then they pulled out the Speed 12...

then I saw a lady in a Griffith somewhat enthusiastically pull away from a pump in a petrol station and hoon the back of it into the side wall...

...then they pulled the Speed 12...

... I still want one.

IIRC this could be a good one for you.

On top of the North Yorks Moors and also on one of the best roads in the Country IMO.

This.

And yes, I agree about it been one of the best roads, might have to get up there sometime soon!

How about this one just outside Huddersfield. Go at a time of day when the nearby car park is empty and it will feel as desolate as you like!
